First frost

December is here and with it came the first frost our way. I actually had to get out of the car and spray some de-icer on the windscreen! So much for global warming.

But of course parts of the UK have already seen their first snow, such as here in the Cairngorms.


And there's more to come.

But if you're wondering what the odds are this year of it being a white Christmas in your part of the UK, you can check here.

5 December - Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

The Met Office has issued the following weather warnings for today.

Friday 5 December - WEATHER WARNING
Widespread ice is likely on roads and pavements across much of Northeast England and Southeast Scotland tonight. Valid until 1000GMT.

Friday 5 December - WEATHER WARNING
Snow falling over Cheshire, Manchester, South and West Yorkshire, and Derbyshire will cause some travel disruption over the next few hours. 10cm may well accumulate over the hill roads. Valid until 0700GMT.

Did you know...?
The chances of there being a white Christmas are just 1 in 10 for England and Wales, and 1 in 6 for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

I'd say that, right about now, the chances are looking even better. But then that's global warming for you!
